Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

Cookies From Scratch

I like to cook and I love cookies,
So it was off to the store for flour
I bought the cheapest flour I saw
I'll have cookies within the hour!

I made dough just as the recipe said
Who can make cookies? I know I can!
But when I pulled them from the oven
It was one cookie the size of the pan!

I broke off a piece to try it out
It was grainy I thought, "What's the deal?"
When I looked at the flour bag again,
The label clearly said, "White corn meal"

Michelle Faulkner June 1, 2018 at 3:59 PM Hah, love the picture and line "I don't always bake cookies-" just like the commercials! (Oh, and the poem was funny, too - I've got one called 'The Last Cookie' if you're in a cookie mood!) Pat Adams June 2, 2018 at 3:26 PM I will definitely check that one out. I'm almost always in a cookie mood if I'm honest. Thanks for commenting........pat

Line Gauthier May 31, 2018 at 8:57 AM E for effort. A for the poem. Well done, Pat. Pat Adams May 31, 2018 at 2:42 PM Thank you so much Line, but unfortunately I have to go to detention now. Sometimes I'm a bad boy. (Don't tell anyone though)............80)
